IMPROVEMENT IN TRAVERSE-PIN IONS FOR HORSE-POWERS.

Specification formingpart of 'Letters Patent No. 186,238, dated January16, 1877; application filed June 24,1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN A. FIELD, of Racine, in the county of Racine,in the State Wisconsin, have invented certain Improvements in Support toOuter End of Traverse- Pinions for Two Wheel Horse Powers, of which thefollowing is a specification:

My invention has for its object the supporting of the outer end of atraverse-pinion for use on a two-wheel horse-power. The journal on whichthe pinion runs is liable to get loose and sag down, so that the pinionworks out of gear, but this arrangement holds up the outer end oftheshaft and prevents it from sagging.

Figure l is a perspectiveview of my invention.

A is the bracket bolted onto the side of the machine, which supports thepinion B; G, the shaft on which the pinion runs; D, a support, the upperend forming a bearing for the outer end of shaft 0 E, a clasp, claspingthe bottom part of the bracket A, made in two pieces, and held togetherby a screw, E, which passes through the top of same and by the side ofthe lower end of the support D, which passes down behind the screw E; G,a couple of nuts screwed onto the bottom of support D, and resting onthe top of clasp E, with which the support may be raised or lowered, asmay be necessary, and thus keep the pinion in line with the bull-wheelH, and prevent the outer edge of the pinion working out of gear; I, theaxle on which the wheels run which transport the machine. a

I claim as new and as my invention- Support D, in combination with claspE,

bracket A, and shaft G, substantially as described.

JOHN A. FIELD.
